The feed I'm using is meant specifically for hens that are laying eggs. As for Dumbo being a jumbo pekin, I don't know. I bought her at a tractor supply as a duckling. XD
I found out that the duck feed that I'm currently feeding my pet ducks is unbalanced (it started to give them angel wing but that's being taken care of now). I'm trying to find a different brand of feed that meets all the nutritional requirements for ducks in general. So far I'm not having any...
I was looking at breeders of ancona ducks but I found none in Texas, so I was wondering if there are any ancona duck breeders in Texas. (This out of curiosity and for possible future purchases, I'm not looking into purchasing any ducks immediately)
Yes, it is sad and frustrating. But in the end at situations like that, I can over come the problem wiser and will know what to do in the future if anything similar could happen.
Yeah, for about 2-3 days the duck seemed just fine to where I was positive that the duck was just fine too. But then the next day it couldn't even walk correctly, so I took it inside and placed it in the duck medical bin. I've been trying to treat it's feet and giving food and water in hopes...
Unfortunately my pekin was found dead this morning in the medical bin I that I usually keep ducks in when they're sick and injured. I did everything I could but I guess the duck was just too sick.
Yeah, my other 3 ducklings are just fine and healthy. It was 1 of my 4 adult ducks that looked like it had a problem running yesterday, but it looks like it's doing much better today.
That's actually the same article that I read yesterday when I heard about niacin. Also the duck never really shows pain and seems to walking around just fine unlike those pictures on that article. And my ducks are adults so they're not on any chick/duckling starter, just regular duck feed and an...
Well so far the duck seems fine so I am going to diagnose it as " a klutz ". But I will be closely watching the duck to make sure that there's nothing wrong. The good thing is that it's not lying down like as if it was in pain or weak and seems to be eating and drinking just fine. So I think...
Well no, I don't really give them supplemental niacin in their feed (to be honest I didn't know what supplemental niacin was until I looked it up). Also it doesn't look like
the duck is limping or anything like it. It's just slower than the others and I just saw it
go of balance while running...
So today while trying to get my ducks back into their enclosure I noticed one of my Pekins running weird. What happened was it was running and all of the sudden it looked like it lost
balance and fell down twice, once on its rear and then on its chest. Also it was way slower than the other...
How much do you charge for the black mallard ducklings? And do you ship them from state to state, and if you do ship ducklings, how much would the shipping cost? (Sorry if the questions seem annoying in any way)
